Edmonton

Wednesday morning at 5am we all drag our butts outa bed and hit the road.

This is in Kamloops (I think) getting gas.

Every one’s very tired.

Nadia, crying because there’s nothing else to do

Any way,

the drive was gorgeous,

but I wasn’t exactly feeling in a gorgeous mood to look at it.

most of the pictures are taken out of the window

if I had asked Dad to stop every time I wanted to get a picture....

well the drive would become very long......

and lots of people would get really annoyed with me.....

As we were approaching St. Albert Dad sees a familiar car behind us, turns out its Uncle Will, following him are Grandma and Grandpa!! So we joined their little caravan and got to our hotel around 8, looked around for a while and finally found a restaurant for dinner at 8:30. Then we stopped by Aaron’s house to say hi to every one and then headed to the hotel to sleep.

Next morning

Thursday:

Here’s our hotel

I did Nadia’s hair;

apparently she looks kinda like CindyLoo from How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Skipping over all comments and further pictures from the funeral.......

After socializing (walking completly bored for me and ethan) at the church for a long time,

we went to Mom's friend Miss.P's house for coffee

That night we went to a BBQ at some people's house,

Since all the people there were either wayyyy older

(well maybe not that old, but sure seemed like it)

or wayyyy younger(not exactly, but...ya)

me and Eth ditched the party and went on a walk.

We got directions to a park, where we fooled around

my sac a dos

long story.....no comment

Our hotel was like right there, we soooo badly wanted to walk there,

but mom and dad didn't approve and because we obey every word they say we didn't

Beautiful trees in the sunset

almost exact picture............

except, ethan is in the bottom corner

see him?

The trees were watching us......

Not only the trees were watching our every move, but there was also a statue of Mary in the horizon

(you can't really see it at all so don't bother looking)

don't ask...

there were little benches all around the park

Great for doing sit ups

or push ups

(see how red his face is?)

or talking a nap

me!!!!

This picture was supposed to be a lot better,

but ethan can never get the camera to focus

and with my parents camera you hafta press the button for ten seconds to get the shutter to go

"I'm a star fish"

(wayyyy to much peppermints causes immature behavior)

So after fooling around in the park, we went for a walk.

tried to get lost, we thought that it'd be pretty cool to get lost in Alberta

we decided to try to find Miss P's house, but then we'd have to cross a busy road and then snake through a couple of neighbourhoods and I didn't exactly know where she lived

we ended up taking this little pathway, talking about how in the world we were gonna end up finding our way back

and then........there's the house the BBQ is at....ugg so much for getting lost
